Dragonfly in Amber

Book two of the "Outlander" series starts 20 years after "Outlander" ended--it's 1968, and Claire is in Scotland with her daughter, Brianna, to finally tell her the truth: Frank Randall was not her biological father, Jamie Fraser was. After telling Brianna, the story flashes back to 1744, and Claire and Jamie are in France, trying to stop Bonnie Prince Charlie's planned 1745 rebellion that wipes out the Highland Clans. Their plans are thwarted, though, and they return to Scotland to see what they can do to help the Highlanders win the battle. In the end, Claire returns through the stones to her own time, two years after she disappeared, and pregnant. I enjoyed most of it, but I'm glad the Jacobite rebellion bit is (hopefully) over in the third book, that part didn't interest me very much (I know it should, but it didn't).
